Diagnosis.
The female of
A. longipalpis
differs from those of all other species in
Uruguay
by the shape of their spermathecae (
Fig. 5D
) being wide basally, with a well truncated fundus, concave dorsally with external lobes projected perpendicular to the duct (similar to
A. argenteus
;
A. casuhati
and
A. gerschiapelliarum
from
Argentina
). Females differ from those of
A. argenteus
and
A. casuhati
by the smaller number of retrolateral spines on tibia II (
Fig. 5C
) and from
A. gerschiapelliarum
by the form and shape of their spermathecae. Males can be differentiated from all other species by the thick copulatory bulb thick, with the embolus arising apically (
Fig. 4
G–I); and a low number of retrolateral spines on tibia II (
Fig. 4F
), and from those of
A. pampa
and
A. argenteus
by the abdomen with a brown dorsum.
Description.
See
Ríos-Tamayo & Goloboff 2018
, figs 23A–I, 24A–D.
Distribution:
Northern
Uruguay
and northern of
Argentina
(
Entre Ríos province
), (
Fig.10
). The
type
locality “Montevideo” seems be just the default shipping port (see
Ríos-Tamayo & Goloboff 2018
, p. 52).
